Dr. Oz and Jordan Peterson - Rules to Live By

Dr. Oz and Jordan Peterson

















This is a great interview that touches on the subject of his book of the same title. 

12 Rules to Live By

Dr. Oz gives one of the best interviews I've seen with Dr. Peterson.  Rather than antagonistic he is cooperative and looking to help his audience with this guest.  It is very compelling.


What Really Matters at the end of Life




This is an informative video on how to face the end of life.

Hope Lange - 1933-2003

Hope Lange - the Fugitive "The Last Oasis."

IMDB


She was beautiful.  I remember he most from the Ghost and Mrs. Muir TV series.  Her gentle personality shined through in that movie and her classic beauty was hard to miss. 

In this episode of the Fugitive she helps Kimble escape and puts herself at great risk doing so.  Were Kimble not on the run it seems she would've been the best person for him to find since she seemed to have an intuitive grasp of his need to run, but didn't know why.  Once she understood it she took it upon herself to save him from capture and then death at the hands of a sheriff deputy.

Joseph Campanella - R.I.P. May 16, 2018

IMDB

He passed away in May of 2018.  I just watched him in an episode of the Fugitive and remember him from many movies and TV shows over the decades.    He played his parts well and had such a genial demeanor that the best parts he played, though intense sometimes, always leaned toward the good and the human.  He had a genuine smile that seemed to carry beyond the screen so you knew he was a friendly guy and good natured.

R.I.P.

Antoinette Bower - Actress

IMDB

The Case of the Bluffing Blast - Perry Mason

Bower plays the character Linda Blake in this episode and is charged with murder.

I've seen her in many TV shows and in some movies over the decades.  She has a distinctive voice and accent that helps her appear very sophisticated and intense and serious.

It is nice to know she's still working.


Probe 7 - Over and Out -The Twilight Zone    This episode is from 1963.

It's February 23nd, 2019 and I'm watching METV at 12:30am.  It's a great way to find surprises and in this one that I have seen multiple times it's the first time I recognized Antoinette Bower playing the part of the other stranded traveler on a planet where only one other inhabitant by chance is another space castaway played by Richard Basehart.  How will it end.  I can't remember but if I were to be stranded on a distant planet I think it would have been nice to find her there.  As the episode ends they share the forbidden fruit from the tree or that is the symbolism I think they included. 

At least the show ended in hope and some dream of happiness rather than loneliness and desolation.

The thing that makes you smile is to imagine that the odds of two humanoids from different planets somehow end up running into each other.  Even on our planet the diversity of life has many differences visible from geographic region to another so there is almost no chance of similarity of being from different planets.  This is the fun of imagination and make believe as found in film and theatre.

David Janssen - actor - The Fugitive TV Series

IMDB

If you want to watch one of the best TV series ever pick up the fugitive from the 1960's.  Most of it is in Black and White so you'll be able to enjoy a multi season binge of retro TV art.  The stories are superb and the acting includes almost all of the best and future great stars of television.


Richard Anderson - Prolific Actor

IMDB

I've seen him in so many shows that I can't imagine that he hasn't been in everything done on TV at some time or another.  Check out his bio and list of credits and you'll be amazed at the amount of work he has done.

Aside from the sheer volume you'll find that in most of his work he played a part that always had him near the center of action. 

TV has lost a great talent but thankfully he will live on forever in his work.

Don Gordon - Actor

IMDB

Good actor, fascinating parts.  I've seen him in many and varied parts and he always is the guy faced with a challenge.  He has the face for it.  Serious, intense, and hard.

He played a hard case Sheriff in the Fugitive series and if I remember correctly he had a part in a twilight zone episode or an Outler limits one.  Once you see him you'll never forget his face.


Paul Carr - Actor

Paul

Wiki

I remember him in Star Trek and Time Tunnel series episodes.  He always fit the parts or should I say played the parts to a perfect fit.

He's in an episode of The Fugitive - Nightmare at Northoak
